THE EXPANDED ART OF CHARLES M. SCHULZ<\/p>\n
I just took my first look at the new paperback edition of
\nPEANUTS: THE ART OF CHARLES M. SCHULZ, and was quite
\nsurprised. No, not by the fact that the new cover actually
\nhas a big smiling picture of Charlie Brown on it. The
\nsurprise was THEY’VE ADDED MORE STUFF! Thirty-two pages
\nof material that wasn’t in the hardcover. Pictures of
\nearly Peanuts products, of the first Peanuts comic book,
\nstoryboards from the very first Peanuts animation (a
\nFord ad), all mixed in there with the rest of the stuff.<\/p>\n
I thought this book was a steal in hardcover for $29.95.
\nNow there’s even more of it, and the cover price is a
\nmere $16.95… but we can beat that. At the moment, we’ve
\ngot it at 30% off — $11.87 for hundreds of full color
\npages of great Peanuts stuff. I don’t say this kind of
\nthing often, but -everyone- reading this newsletter
\nshould have at least some edition of this book. It is
\nthat good.

(And before anyone asks: a quick check shows that they
\nfixed at least some of the errors minor factual errors
\nof the previous edition. When I get a chance, I’ll
\nreview more carefully and update my guide to the errors
\nto reflect the different editions.)
\n===================================================================
\nIT SHOULDN’T HAPPEN TO AN AMERICAN DOG…<\/p>\n
You may recall from a couple newsletters back when I mentioned
\nhaving a British edition of the Hallmark gift book IT SHOULDN’T
\nHAPPEN TO YOU… LET ALONE A DOG, in which Pig-Pen turned on
\nDoctor Who on the TV in what was apparently a paste-up for
\nthe British edition.<\/p>\n
Well, now I’ve heard from a reader who has the U.S. edition
\n(there was indeed one), and what is Pig-Pen watching in
\nthat edition? Why, it’s got to be his favorite film — The
\nDirty Dozen!
\n===================================================================
\nBRITISH BOOK UPDATE<\/p>\n

\nthe Peanuts strips from 1991-1994 (incompletely, alas),

\nGETTING JAPANESE BOOKS<\/p>\n
Last newsletter, I talked about some of the Japanese Peanuts
\nbooks I had just received, and asked if anyone wanted to know
\nhow to order them. The answer was, of course, yes. Quite
\nsimply, I ordered them from Amazon.co.jp, the Japanese branch
\nof Amazon. Their site is in Japanese, of course, but it has
\nfeatures that let you select to work in English. It won’t
\ntranslate everything into English — it’ll translate
\nsome of the command links, but not book titles and the like.
\nStill, with a little sticktoitiveness you can get through
\nthe ordering process.<\/p>\n
PEANUTS KEY WORDS (2 different volumes):
\n http:\/\/www.amazon.co.jp\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/4022576715\/
\n http:\/\/www.amazon.co.jp\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/4022578335\/
\nSITTING TOGETHER EATING TOGETHER
\n http:\/\/www.amazon.co.jp\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/4048535242\/
\nSNOOPY AMERICAN SWEETS
\n http:\/\/www.amazon.co.jp\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/4048535676\/
\nSNOOPY CASUAL RESTAURANT
\n http:\/\/www.amazon.co.jp\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/4048535706\/
\nSNOOPY MAGAZINE ISSUE 9
\n http:\/\/www.amazon.co.jp\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/4063467260\/<\/p>\n
When you go to these pages, check the other links on
\nthe page, which will steer you toward other Japanese
\nPeanuts books.<\/p>\n
(And to answer the next question: no, I do not make
\nany money when you order these books. I had a yen to
\nset up the same deal with the Japanese branch as I do
\nwith the regular Amazon, but -that- part of the
\ninstructions are only in Japanese!)
\n===================================================================
\nWow! A whole non-trivial newsletter without any reports
\non The Complete Peanuts or any new kids books.<\/p>\n
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to go prepare for
\narriving trick-or-treaters. I’m giving out comic books
\nagain this year!<\/p>\n
